the sharpshooters jump to agro
just grab agro and wait
they'll jump in eventually
^
do you guys go left or right stairs on priory
They really jump on aggro ? I thought it was on ranges
They do it 15 sec ish in at worst, ain't an issue
right stairs
I go left
don't believe his lies
they'll simply get pulled to the DK who is off in the middle of nowhere
most pugs i guess are programmed into left
They jump to place caltrops, if ppl are stacked in melee, they go into melee
for some strange, arcane reason
(It’s the only dungeon i have a route)
most pugs hate the right mini boss
for good reason
its ass if it doesn't blow up
but it has sweet reflectables
The smith? I still got nightmares from PTR
uhh im on monster hunter atm
idd a nightmare lol
I tried right / fire bullet hell, I will never go there again in pug
Oh well, I am off. Notche don't go attack mode on a guy just having a good day
Gl in yer keys peepos

good night funky , god bless you
Fury chat taught me what hdr is

I turned it off after they showed me how to turn it on
i have been playing with hdr these days i read it's not healthy for the eyes .
i like it, but its weird for when you stream
I don’t see the difference, i had to turn way up contrast in wow to be able to be pleasant
well youre not supposed to
And in discord stream it was Picasso painting
as in, it should be easy on your own eyes
so youre not like OH FUCK FLASHBANGED
which is what happens when you stream on twitch or discord
lol flashbanged
Tbh I never played in hdr, games post PS3 are beautiful enough for me I have very low bar
one of my fav game is Kenshi
i thought this was taken from Final fantasy xiv online
nah monster hunter
Show us your mog
its terrible
i need to figure out what sets im gonna do etc so im just rocking whatever i used for the last missiosn
It can’t be worst than my char in the end epic cinematic
Clown mog for the final cutscene ahh
@shut summit Just looking at some of your keys, I'm seeing you're running ravager over battering ram in push keys?
I THOUGHt you had no pants
lmaooo
Its worth replacing the previous 2p with better gear? Talking about +40ilvl difference, I already have 2p / 2p from the new season
i wanna build a flayer + partbreaker set
depends on sims
my sims said to keep at least 2pc on the slots with lower item budget
i.e. shoulders + gloves
6/6 myth pieces though
so it really depends on what you have
sim it out
what Nim said, sim it
hey, can any1 tell me the big diff between thane and colossus in m+? is one tankier then the other? or similar?
similar
colussus is burstier with stack management. thane is spam thunderclap
ive been come a decent prot player
nice!
just swap fear/intervene/stormbolt for it
what do you think i could drop to get demo shout cdr
have to ysually delay 3-7 seconds but yeah
nah demolish just never aligns
yaya
either way colo is fun
just wish it didnt get nerfed from before
we would probably be doing 15-20% more damage
I use wall to avatar demolish
But only did 2 10s with my warrior for now so it didn’t kill me after wasting my def cd
i do that too but not having demo roar for demolish feels so bad
Do you have sometime weird aggro shit happen on pull, I did a workshop and I took the first 2 pack with bombs, I blast first dps in burst but lose aggro like wtf
Like WDYM I lose aggro on that little mf in the middle of the death zone where im throwing 6m dps
ya gio ya gio you are in arms channel and here , are you a tank or dps now
does anyone wanna share logs from high keys as demo ?
also colossus does feel more " squishy" or maybe it's my lack of intelligence to play it properly -_-
You just get less rage to spend on ignore pain
it doesnt feel squishier
we would need your logs to tell what your doing
Can someone confirm prot warriors can do the Mecha last boss skip, by just pulling both packs and taking it to a corner and partty mass rez's ?
My understanding is nobody in party can tag, so that'd imply no healer in 11-12 pulling both packs into a corner with every cd and maybe pot and then just dying
You can leap up to the robots , TC and then charge down towards the pack
and drag everything in a corner. if you survive long enough the party can sneak past
aight I really need to set those up tbh
yeah
🫡
Define high keys?
I’ve logged most of my keys
Working on 12s at the moment, not sure if 11s/12s is “high” enough
Feel extremely sturdy as colo
how do the Rage changes feel on Prot now?
havent played in a month
hoping i dont feel forced to mash IP non stop anymore to stop capping on rage ever 2 seconds
what does this have to do with anything
stupid question sorry - In Theatre of Pain. First pull, lock imprisoned one of the mobs on the left - I charged into one of the other mobs and broke the imprison - Do I leap past the mobs there so I dont break the imprison, or ranged pull them back?
Also do we still kill the imprisoned mob after? The pack doesnt seem that hard?
Haven't done 12s but 11s feel fine with healers not really even pumping the overall numbers I was seeing on 14s last season
Most issues have been people just being less familiar with mechanics so brainfarts
Does imprison allow you to skip on that side?
got an answer off another channel - basiucally its tyo skip and then pull onto first (proper) boss while RP is happening
seems like itd save 10 seconds :)
Yeah, you don't pull the 3 guys, just the bull mob after
cool thank you
im down stairs practicing "route" on normal, anyway out without Hearth stoning? (as in not clearing dungeon)
No idea 🙂
i'm unsure to use my 636 S1 crafted shield or a 2/6 hero track shield with bad stats. Do we use sims for this as tanks?
The issue is that i play multispec so putting crafts in something that can only be used in 1 spec feels bad
i play both arms and prot
True. So 2 x dusk thread off pieces
Am I reading this correctly that you use heavy repercussions? If yes, Is that because you’re lacking haste?
Is prob good solution then make 2h 4/6 that way shield and 1h is free to uograde to same
higher ilvl shield is always better
What's better for main hand enchant for m+, authority of the depths or radiant power?
guys on sprocket, do you need to wall before the barrel explodes or before the boss applies it to you?
i initially assumed it was before explosion but ive seem some weird things happening, i'm very new to taking as well so i hve no clue 🫡
What's the general consensus on crest usage at this point? I don't raid mythic, so I get at most 1M piece per week, which...in theory means I can upgrade some hero stuff without any losses, even with my crafting I think?
Do you guys have a plan for where to spend them? I am probably gonna hold out until after vault this week then pull trigger on a 2nd crafted + upgrading some hero stuff to max.
Of course this assumes I cap gilded every week, but that's not too hard at the moment
I've already recrafted two embelishment items with gilded, rest Im usually spending on reset day after the vault. Season is long, Im not competing for HoF rankings, so there is no need for minmaxing optimization.
Is there a breakpoint for haste when it’s generally best to switch this talent?
I suppose that's a good way of looking at it, thanks 🙂
Will pray for a weapon then get my embellishments done
And maybe start spending some sparks on tier
I already crafted a shield. I’m considering crafting a weapon so that I can open the vault as arms
Alternatively wait and open the vault as fury and if I get a weapon I can craft a ring
I’m sorry, I don’t know the answer to this
Yeah I also already did a shield, I'd love a weapon but just know that if I craft one my vault will be all weapons
How are prot doing in keys?
fine
I keep hearing horror stories about the bleeds
I leveled my 2 DPS so idk what tank to lvl bear or war
Also is nom not tanking anymore, saw him yesterday in Gally has arms
he always raids as dps
Ohh
unless hes pugging for logs on prot
Why not tank? Is it because guild already has their tanks
Also jakey, how is our sustain?
he doesnt have a guild but his team has tanks already, and its fine
Have a champ track shield off gally but I’m flush with gilded runes.
Is it worth just crafting shield to have a top tier one for the time being?
Have hero track weapon so I’m not overly concerned with replacing it but shield is maxed at 658.
Shield always worth it?
Im new to protection. Should i go the wowhead way or the icy veins way? Different.
Both show me different Bis items.
I just want to mainly Focus on heroic raid and m+
Should i grind the dungeons for only krit/temp items ?
you equip whatever haste item you can get your hands on
dont focus on "bis"
you cant control what the vault and raid will spit out for you
I assumed but am coming back after not having played in years. So I’m a bit new again
A weapon is probably a better craft than the shield since the gallywix shield is bis
It probably does overall more damage than a crafted shield
Not neccesarily. That assumse you can get a Mythic Gallywix shield which most players will never get. Leaving a myth track from vault or crafted as best possible. For shields ilvl>>>>>>>>>>everything else. And shield is most important item slot for pwar
the way i understand this is if the shield is not mythic is not bis
Heroic gallywix shield is 665 and is fine for the most part
a 675 crafted is still going to be way better
...
Which as a tank is…..important?
some may say the most important
Its better for both tho
If most players are just doing heroic
Survivability isn’t the most difficult in heroic
Main stat is still better than correct seccondaries, so 675 will still be better
Surv directly correlates to dps output in anything
and its crafted so it does have correct secondaries...
Less rage on ip more rage on tasty revenge
If you’re typing a novel about how you don’t need a crafted shield to do heroic raid don’t waste your time
No one is gonna disagree
Idk for sure, but over long boss fights the shield’s damage stacks up
Also that being said you will gain access to bullions
Which are better spent on trinkets
aren't bullions for raid gear only or will they be for dungeon loot as well
It just depends on what you get
Prot right now has insane damage so I think it’s best to maximize your damage so that’s why I personally crafted a weapon
Or you can just do both...
You can craft both weapon and shield rn
No reason to not craft 675 shield unless you get one from vault in myth track. And then can upgrade it to 679? 678?
But imo if you crafted shield and have access to m+ vault it’s better to hold your spark right now to see if you get a vault weap
Then decide
Exactly
Thats what I'm doing, but I am hoping to get tier from my vault
Yeah, going to be hard if there's a good mythic tier piece and a weapon, gonna be sadge
Hard to decide, not sadge, it's a nice problem to have 🙂
I’m actually praying I get some sort of myth tier or I’m gonna cry
I've got 2 myth slots in my vault, planning on getting my 3rd today and tommorow
Statistically, are you less likely to get a 1h looting as fury than prot? Or is it the same chance?
I assume both of our good m+ trinkets are both prot and fury
Well, Tome is Tank only
This is the key info, cheers 🙂
And TOme trinket is amazing
do we play mountain thane?
Have a heroic tome, ATM, so I'd only be taking the mythic one if the other 2 slots are way worse. Think I get more benefit from like a chest/legs or a weapon
If you want; it does less damage, but is tankier in theory, Maurits
might try it out than, was doing a +2 as 613 and getting spanked
If you're getting slapped by a +2 at that ilvl, swapping to Thane won't help unless you're playing Colo very detrimentally
yea was going full dmg
Yeah that sounds like a misplay or mistake is being made
There is no real going full damage other than if you consider keeping Rav over BSV or SoF over AOE interrupt
It's almost certainly more misplaying CDs or mechanics
that's still what you do; leech keeps you alive
You get IP passively from outbursts and brutal vit
Ideally you can do that if you atleast have some Ip
And the talent that converts damage to ip
And you supplement during higher rage gen moments with raw IP presses
you can see that I cast Revenge about 100 times more than IP in this 11 DFC
hmm
I find, especially in single target, that IP is still pressed a fair amount, because of the reduced rage from single target encounters
The bosses you might be up against could of also not been a Prot friendly boss
Bleeds will just go through your IP
And delete it
3rd boss of ML legit is like 95% unblockable magic damage
I don't even bother with shieldblock outside of the few times she auto attacks
I need so much IP
Or first boss of priory
Any Prot player will struggle
Before the nerfs were absurd
I hate that boss when I go left
I have to because dps pugs are stupid at times, but I way prefer going right
I’ve only gone left
I trust myself more 💀
How much easier is it without the judgment add?
Right makes the boss trivial. Just say you will be kicking main boss and his shouts, and leave the add kicks up to everyone else
mythic rik reverb shield vs crafted?
Mythic
ilvl>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything else
If you can get your hands on the reverb shield
It’s gonna be better
it’s easier to get crafted
damn, im so happy with my embellished shield
whats the other M+ build for survivablty
Do you use battle scarred veteran?
yuck
Only needed if you are at risk of 1 shots
im new to prot, i have been always a fire mage key pusher so idk what that is still xD, i saw critcake speaking about how colussus does so much dmg but the other one is for survivablty
idk where to find it
i can't get a 1h to drop to save my life 
Check out wowhead @round needle. It's written by the amazing @strong forum
Keep spamming floodgate muse
He likely means Mountain Thane, the other hero talent
overflooded 
but critcake is, like, in the discord, so you can ask what he means
Just to be sure, what is your loot spec ? 
It's technically tankier since it gives more rage gen
But you get more IP per cast with colossus
It's close enough that the damage difference makes Col generally better
You end up with more AM fueling and IP, but it's not an amlunt you can really put a hard value to
Colossus is plenty sturdy FWIW 
You underestimate how much rage you get and are also ignoring that IP is worse than Shield Wall
so mountainis survivablty and colussus full on dps
my loot spec is "unlucky"
when does coloussus start being squishy
Except for my house of cards hehe
But both are oerfectly acceptable
Probably the same time as Thane?
You'll know when colossus starts being squishy :)
Something like tankiness is already so hard to define and value
But if you're new to the spec
Unironically yeah
And sometimes, you just need things to cover mistakes
You probably will just be making mistakes haha
colo is quite sturdy but is more punishing on misplay
so i thought id search it up
You can have pretty sloppy play as long as your press your buttons and keep your shield up and be a-okay even in 10s right now. So I wouldn't sweat Thane vs Colossus or anything.
Just press your buttons 
u have a little less wall uptime as thane but u have more rage to put into IP and u will have better demo shout uptime + effectiveness
Yep you maybe already are overgear for 10s idk, but col is no worry no damage taken
thank u kings for ur help ❤️
Bleeds will shred you no matter what though
That’s the quirk of Prot
Enjoy suffering to that
i was doing a key 10 as coloussus amd the healer healed me less than all the dps
which was suprising
Tanks are vibing and thriving so far this season it would seem
Wdym if you want to push just go dwarf dude
so many different ways too. EHP, mitigation, EHRPS, etc etc. All should be taken into consideration
how do you deal with tanking the creepers in DFC with the stacking debuff? it hits giga hard, if you pull 2 at the same time youre dead
BDK, consider your runic power as part of your ehp/hp
As someone who usually mains bdk, I can really go into it lol
I pull 2 and I heroic leap out at some stacks
Inside the cart idk how you do it
That’s a thing I’m on easy mode as dk and I cry a little bit on my warrior
Sitting with 25-30 stacks on dk
Suffer with 5 on warrior
im playing prot pala right now, i guess i can bubble for a bit
didnt know you could SR as warrior, nice info
its just hard to kite when in the cart circle
just ams before they applied on dk too
At some point the ams doesn’t last 4 sec
i was about to time a 10 just now, but the creeper part owned us
another weird thing about the creepers is if they are near any corpses of enemies they get buffed
idk if that was also a factor at hand for ya
Does the DoT that the creepers put on you buffed by the corpse buff?
Grim
The ability says the creepers “sometimes” put the DoT on you with an auto attack but it feels like every attack
"always" is technically "sometimes"
They need to make spell block just work on all magic dots
Just tired of spell block and its inconsistencies
All magic dots and all magic
Hey, what should i craft if i dont get any mythic items? one hand and shield?
Prot paladin says "but thats my mechanic"
ya
probably
They can just straight block it away. With magic dots they can 100% mitigation against it with block because the dr cap for block is only against physical damage
Meanwhile spell block has been known to block dots but only certain ones usually on bosses but still
Interesting
My friend, have you met spell reflect?
Lol
Just tired of all the inconsistencies of spell block and spell reflect as I get older
Just like fuck it work on everything
Technically a 25% uptime, same as spell block. But yeah it's annoying how inconisistent these are
I don’t care if I can one shot a boss
Last boss of priory spell reflect can do so much damage
Solo'd entire phase 2 with just the healer on a 8. Spell reflect did 30-40% of my damage
Should I swap to arms loot spec once i have 675 weap and shield?
Interesting didn’t realize it can do that much dam there.. I only pug and they kick them all the time
I get some reflects off but kinda annoying they kick it mostly
I should just get a macro to yell don’t kick
Try to say before fight to not kick, sometimes works
It is something that scales with key lvl, it does a shit ton Of damage
Ok yeah I’ll do that
Yah just too lazy but I really should
I’ve glanced at it here and there
That spell reflect weak aura claims was updated but doesn’t really work for me
Dunno why
Like look at this shit
Not as much damage as that one run, but similar thing happened again here
I gotta take a look at the list I wasn’t even aware you could reflect damage on sister
Which spell is it?
💀
You lost me at kickable
You think my pugs are gonna let me reflect kickable casts
Just make an annoying macro saying "don't kick spell refleect up"
Won't work, at best it makes them kick on purpose
It’s rough
That’s specifically my guild runs
I've seen some warriors run either a WA or addon that says when spell reflect is casted, what target, what the damage it does is
Anyone know what that is?
I’ve seen that aswell but I have no idea
For the most part I feel that with pugs your kinda just going to be screwed
You have to be with a stack in order to fully take advantage of spell reflect
annoying and pointless is what it is
Not if there's a chance it stops a pug from kicking a spell I am going to reflect
pick your favourite
I highly doubt that
both good?
hi
Yeah, colossus does more damage but thane is super simple
immediately
Immediately
The second you have ilvl upgrades
The s1 tier sucks
it works 1/20 times

s1 tier was below the bottom of the barrel tier
Dont even remember what it did
When your shieldslam reset, you gained a miniscule buff, and something something forgotten
I hope the tier set helps with this but the lack of ss resets this patch feels terrible on either hero spec
I don't even notice. I revenge spam 
Yeah I try to but then my ip drops and I'm rage starved and I drop like a rock
Still trying to feel that balance between revenge and ip
S2 four tier bonus seems very good. The shield slam crits feel so beefy
do we have trouble generating threat on mobs or it is just me? idk how many times dps/healer died because the aggro change
i killed so many dps to the point i have to tell people to wait extra 1-2 seconds more than usual
Prot warrior has probably the best threat generation out of all the tanks
Their instant aoe burst is unrivalled
just got tome trinket.. so I basically never want to use the 'on use' when I am in sword version of the trinket right..
only want to use it when I am in shield version and I want to swap to sword
how do you group up mobs? is thunder clap + 1 revenge is not enough to keep aggro? because sometimes my healer got killed just because they apply renewing mist/shield
Although fel scarred dh is good too
Depending on the pull you can use thunderous roar and shield charge
You might lose a mob here or there at the beginning
but its not always up, idk its so hard for me to get initial aggro
didnt have this problem in s1
i bricked +13 just because the dps died 1 second into the pull
and he was just using builder not even spender
What was the pull?
Was everything spread out?
Your gonna lose aggro at the beginning of the pull if everything is very spread out it’s just the name of the game
Like for example the beginning pull of floodgate
Keep up challenging shout for those cases where you don’t have your cooldowns
What stats do we put on a crafted everforge defender shield? Haste/ver or haste/crit?
Haste crit
Why crit? Don’t we want to stack vers as a tank?
The way colossus works Crit comes out on top
I see
Vers isn’t a bad stat
Vers would help for being squishy right?
But Crit gives you more since we use colossus
Yes, but you get a higher parry chance the more crit you have
So it can make up for it
Ohhh so crit affects parry
If you go mountain thane crit is less important I believe though
It seems like colossus is better for both raid and m+ this tier
Is colossus the play in m+? Or is it just niche for extra dps on low keys/super high coordinated groups?
It is yeah
For the most part colossus will always be better for m+ at its current state
The damage is a lot more than mountain thane
Prot warrior kind of has crazy damage. I’m only 620 ilvl but I was doing around one mil overall in low keys. Can’t wait to see what true real damage is when I’m not at shit ilvl
Crit cake made a video of him doing top dps out of all the group in a 10 rookery
Nice lol
Why’s that?
Just the dungeon pool
Alot of bleeds and etc
I mean unless you’re going for the .5% title you won’t run into issues
And even then, any tank can get that title
But the top teams atleast for m+ are running either Prot pally or veng Dh with Dh being more common
TLDR if you want to be among the top your going to have an easier time as dh or pally but it’s not undoable as warrior
Def won’t be pushing that title. Probably plan to do all 12’s later if anything.
As great as they are, i can’t play wheelchair tanks like dk, pally, bear. It drives me crazy
Maybe DH but I’ve never played that class before so it’ll be a learning curve
If your just doing all 12s you will have zero issue as warrior
Prot warriors also just feel beefy compared to dh
Hey guys short question what spaces do i craft in as Prot? I want to craft the vers Proc things cause I also play Fury in Raid. Therefore I can't craft shield. Is it better to go Bracers and feet on 675 or Bracers and Beck on 675?
I’d even argue you would have an easier time as Prot warrior since their damage is far above the other tanks
I see
Honestly you probably should craft whatever your lowest ilvl is
I also will dabble in one of the dps specs. Is fury or warrior better for m+ right now?
But ideally if you were “bis” I believe cape and bracers are the best to craft
If you were full bis
I was unsure cause I later gonna swap CLoak for the Raid cape ^^
Are you confident you’re gonna get that cape?
Most players are going to be going for it aswel
dawn or dusk thread
Dawn if your Prot
I mean i have a guild and we gonna raid mythic our Goal is to kill at least the locken guy who drops it. But I guess at that time I have enough Sparks and crests ^^
You want crit over vers now
It really just depends whether your going to get the cape, if you know your gonna get.
But out of 20 players will you get it?
But by the time you get it and etc you probably can just craft something else
true ^^ I guess I just craft cape and fuck it ^^
That being said though feet will give you more initial stats over a cape
like the first pull of priority, i charge into thunder clap into challenging shout then leap into the middle. nobody deal damage into these 4 mob but when they're walking to me the aggro change, prob because healer healed me. is this not enough to keep aggro when grouping stuff up?
Oh yeah that’s a little annoying I’ve seen that happen too
It’s best to make sure the healer is ahead of you, just thunderclap and leap and yoy shouldn’t take any lethal damage for the healer to need to dismount and heal you
challenging shout there is a mistake it gives u nothing
idk i feel like im having problem grouping up, but i dont have this problem in s1
That specific pull is hard since there’s a long distance you need to run aswell as the range enemies
You just just have do your best to gather them up since Prot just has zero pulls
But the first 4 enemies of priory are all melee so they should just run to you
Cleft is similar with the amount of casters in the first area
It’s just what warriors struggle with
Definitely warrior
Those 4 enemies also do extremely negligible damage
Exactly
The ranged players need to all be stacked on you
The healer shouldn’t be healing when you running with those mobs
Otherwise the sharpshooters stay out
But they jump in if all are in melee
Then you can shockwave and go ham
The first pull is much more about group survival than tank survival
They don't do negligible damage to timmy the mage who blast all CDs the unstant those mibs get looked at, even though you're already zooming to the next pack
Tbh all of priory is
But timmy the mage can tank from time to time
Timmy the mage can eat my whole ass I don’t care
I think a lot of players feel they are “struggling” with things and don’t realize they are just being griefed by their dps/healer
I’m mostly playing vdh this season but I literally just pre-sigil, eap in, demon spikes, imo aura, maybe a soul cleave, and move on
If someone decides to rip threat it’s not my problem
As warr id imagine a charge, tc, revenge, and getting shield blown up is plenty
Then leap away

A non-zero amount of people who think they're struggling that you find in the wild are struggling because they just can't press buttons. People who come here tend to be the opposite, since they're more likely to blame themselves for things, but
nice
the biggest thing you can do as tank in priory is just avoid the really toxic pulls
I usually try to skip the patrol and the first pack at the top of the left stairs
Never under any circumstance should you pull those packs with the lieutenant especially
You can even just thunderclap and jump, they are all melee and won’t hit you. the healer shouldn’t need to heal anything
Your group will just fall over
If they wanted to live, they should have played a tank smh
or a mage with their 15 different defensives
good evening i have a question is capo's molten knuckles from Mug'zee a good Tank Weapon or should i craft one?
Will your guild give you the very rare 1 handed strength/agility weapon over a dps?
do we have to go MT for M+? or is Col still viable?
its dps gain is not worth the loss of secondaries Morlex
Colossus is actually meta
luke Guthan said, its better on a dps player
oh snap...my bad
okay so if i am not lucky to get one in hero track in de vault the crafting is better because the chance i get one is rly rly rare 🙂
It’s a higher damage gain of course
on weapons higher ilvl > all
But you lose out on stats
same as shield
if its not myth, dont even compare to crafted with gilded, gilded will win against hero every time
True
when i said "dps gain" i meant hero vs runed crafted
or hero vs hero
the gain is very very little
Just wait till the .5 patch is out
best slot to craft 2nd dawnthread? (have shield already)
And buy it with a bullion lmao
Lowest ilvl
so the shield from gallywix is not better on herotrack as a crafted 675 shieldd?
yeah well bullions are better spent on gally/1ab trinkets honestly
no
its not
higher ilvl wins
okay thanks
ilvl dictates block on shields
How are bullions going to work? Will you be able to get/use them if you don't raid?
ilvl dictates weapon damage on weapons
You MIGHT do more damage with it
But you lose out on survivability
weapon base damage directly affects your dps, more than anything else
okay thanks for the information
I genuinely don’t know if the gallywix shield does more damage on hero track
Than a crafted shield
On boss fights maybe
Aoe no
at this point it doesnt matter
^
but its easy to sim
i just wouldnt go for hero gally shield over a gilded crafted just because of the block
if you killed gallywix on heroic and got the shield
Before you crafted
Then craft something else
But if your not crafting a shield in hopes of getting it down the line
Just make the shield
does 2pc shield wall proc synergize with "immovable object" talent?
No
No
tuff
That would make it ultra broken
If it worked like dragonflight raid only, but you can get them from just lfr
Cool, and then it lets me target which item I want from vault?
(sorry this is maybe a dumb question(
no you just buy stuff from a vendor, it doesnt interact with the vault, its a separate thing
we have no idea how they will be given out
and they wont be live this early in the season anyway
Yeah you literally can just walk into a shop and buy any raid item from the entire raid that can be upgraded to max ilvl
They plan to release it at the .5 patch
So about half way through the season
Its honestly how it should be if they want to give warrior zero utility
think about how close you were to the rogue and ret too
with shout
just ignore stupid other warrior

ye other warr was low dps cuz of ilvl
man was 640 or sth
still, 2.4mil is MAD good dps
you guys are assuming a whole lot for an out of context details screenshot
it doesnt even say overall
happy?
so... current segment?
current segment
after the dungeon
is the overall
once you finish dung, its overall
ok
play other tanks
and stop saying warrior is broken
its not
other tanks do similar damage
👍
Could be he was just chillin', as ret ate all the pad
Actually not a bad idea going full ST with that setup, that got AoE for days
Rdruid is around half of where he should be too
So I guess lowkeys, still learning
or died a lot
yeah thats just gear, the dude also mentioned it
low ilvl, his s1 experience is lacking and shows, his s2 is the same
vet weapon 
It is a classic example of tank beating a undergeared and/or bad player on the meters
True and real, Ret/Rogue carried big
I'm playing prot in Keys to fuel my arms spec for raids as I'm the only warrior, haven't seen a single 2h drop
yeah im crafting mine on tuesday if i dont get a myth one
so i feel ya
and i spammed ToP hard for one
Same
Can't do it yet, hope I'll get a good vault
ya same boat here
Always wait for the vault, smart
If you go Fury offspec, just use two 1handers till you get twohanders
diff is only 5% ish
Fury 
your st dmg always strong funky
D'awww 

is there a healer you guys all prefer? i was doing a 13 floodgate with like, a really high rank disc priest and i was struggling on big momma.. didn’t die but had to have my ret babysit me a bit
disc/mw/rdruid depending on dungeon
Tho the only 2h I got from the vault from s1 was the last week, which couldn't be upgraded 🧌
idk how i can make that boss easier. i might need to grab BSV just for that boss. shit is stressful
that boss and the corridor creepers are the biggest things making me want to swap tanks lol. idk how we keep getting 2 creepers in the minecart section in DFC
someone always backs up into the other one and i just die
I love Shamans, allows me to go low and expect to be pushed up. The more danger I am in, the more the Shaman is able to heal.
Not to mention: Interupts on those pesky ranged mobs melee wont touch
i've had one really good rsham this season... and one really good mistweaver, it's crazy the variation in healers....
Big momma is...weird
The buster kinda trucks
And in low keys people just put the sonic boom on you
It's a weird one, who knows
i item restored my ritual mud trinket just to try and deal with high damage dots in push keys
haven't used it yet but it might do something, if big momma's tank buster has a 10 second dot, and the mud CD gets reduced by dots, would it mean 22 seconds off the trinket cd? lol
Not a bad idea, could also consider go thane for more d power if it is that tight
Most cases a sac should be enough, or any other external. Some DoTs can be negated with control or kite
yeah, my issues are specifically big momma and double creepers in the darkness section
leap if you have to
having giga crit also helps cause if you parry it doesnt get put on you
yeah, i have 25% parry but i've only seen it drop once via that
Double creaper is just a bit of kite if needed. Momma I haven't had any issues with, but I only done it on a 12
well, in the minecart area, do i just like, leap to a candle and run away?
i feel that's maybe a bit troll
but it might help me live lol
Yep, jump to a candle and bring it back with. Avoid the negatives and DPS basically lose no uptime. We talking 3 sec ish for the drop off
it works
but yeah your survival is probably more important than a couple of seconds of uptime
use SR
watch timer, use SR if less or at about 5s
youll reflect the next application and reset
remember they are immune to cc, so just leap to africa
just dont fall down the middle hole
lol, yeah... i wonder if other tanks have the same issue... maybe bear druid
I think I've been hitting thunderclap too much as colossus
when do we replace the cyrce ring
Hello. Im probably missing something but how come our 2p doesnt proc Avatar ?
Immovable object procs avatar if using shield wall...so u though the 2p, would proc avatar as the 2p bonus procs shield wall...
huh
we already get a damage boost with it, why would you want an avatar on top
how do i get it if i drop ravager for bsv and booming voice for disrupting shout 
jk xd
lol
So I have kind of a crazy idea - has anyone used chatgpt to make code for weakauras?
thousands of people
haha ok well i guess not surprised
did i just hear Scott say "Btw how illegal is prot warrior? How am I ever meant to survive this even with BSV" on gallywix

yurrr
i caught the mugzee kill last night and havent tuned in
what specifically does he mean
tbh i thought the p3 gallywix tank buster was super free as pwarr
oh
huge physical hit that does a physical dot, big deal
but maybe there's a different tankbuster on mythic
Its almost like they dont actually know how to play the tanks properly, because they have to be able to play all 6 at a good level
i mean sure i agree but also we literally don't know what mechanic is hitting him
and he does
so maybe it's something that we are actually awful at dealing with
On both echos and liquids like under 1% wipes on sprocket if the tanks had been playing correctly they would have killed
I mean they play weird builds etc too just what i saw in other channels and discords
Not something ive looked into myself, but i believe for sure
prot warrior is strong so rarely that the top raiders/m+ guys are often pretty mediocre at it, but scott will definitely know more about what this boss does to prot warrior than anyone else
i'm hoping there's no scary magic dot
kyveza was rough enough
what made being 2nd so easy
spell block aligned well
my cotank was bdk and i would perma rip on pull and i didn't bother learning the movement so i just went first
1st tank took 2 tbs and then transition
Is the dot block able
2nd tank took 1
the dot is reduced by your mitigation on the initial hit
I found ky fine and i was the tank doing double debuffs 
After 4pc are we taking both battering ram and ravager or just one or the other?
so it kinda is blockable/reduced by armour
Yes
drop rav after 4pc according to wowhead guide right
Yeah, I just didn't know if it made sense to take both and drop something else
It might change soon
Indom does a whole lot of nothing
So u can drop that instead of rav if u want
does it?
Nome saod it the other day

Sense has alsp mentioned dropping it, in higher content maybe u keep it
did 38m healing for me
Over what a sungeon?
prob drop it i guess
rookery
lmao wait
how nerfed is this talent
when did it stop being 10% of our max hp
and 1% heal per 10 rage
True Jakey, idk with all these bleeds I feel more healing better?
1% per 10 has always been a thing
Nah it used to be 2
well when did they nerf it
because that's not what it does now
ahh true
So its even worse
nah give me ravager back
when was this nerf? was this ages ago and i just didn't notice?
It was this expansion? I think
Like alpha i really cant remeber
But yer its kinda deadge
ive been running without it
I think during Early S1 or preseason
S1 we definitely already run with the nerfed indom.
i'd probably run BSV over that if i was actually scared for my life on a fight
There is nothing else than the old MDT pull assist WA's that does the same, is there?
Because there doesnt seem to be one for s2?
I did early in the season, and yes that was because I was at like 14k haste
Is it not still early lol
delicious haste
i see alot of the top tier tanks doing that but not mid level
It's due to tank deaths being pretty much a wipe in top end keys
It's technically not optimal, since it's likely not needed based on last season logs, but if you screw up and have baseline skill to keep playing, it'll stop a wipe
Makes sense
Anyone know a good way to gather the mobs and avoid annoying overseer knockbacks in the first 3 pulls of DFC?
I've 2 chested a 10 but I'm wanting to get some 12s this week ideally and although this place is relatively easy, I want to see how I can make the first 3 pulls before the first boss as clean as possible
pull the first 2 packs on left and right into the initial room as part of ur first pull
First pull I've been grabbing all the labourers, overseer pack in the doorway, the 4 pull of moles, and the 2 casters then comes back into the doorway where the overseer is initially --- and lusting
then u have all that space for overseers
Second pull, on MDT would be G8-10
https://wago.io/JfpsG2Qpd
this has been working perfectly for me
thank u
For 675 shield craft it says mastery haste. should i follow sims or for something thats bis go crit/haste etc
the stats i like are the stats i have in my bags
Guys what addon shows % that mobs give in tooltip when mousing over ?
3 runs later and a portal
Dunno which one specifically
I got gallywix hc weppy yesterday :d
But no crests to upgrade x_x
F
literally half the damage
No need for a WA if I don't have it 
Damn that didnt narrow it down at all but thanks xd
is it IO or UF with colossus if you disregard defensive value?
IO is more dmg
Cuz you can buff pretty much every single demolish with avatar that way

that is good tech
And if you play UF, it takes away globals to be spent on revenge
so if theres 0 chance of me getting a mythic gallywix shield
im supposed to craft a shield, right
That or vault
as a prio craft
i didnt think abt vault 🤔
maybe ill craft bracers first to be safe
do i want allied wristguards or duskthread lining tho
Yeah you are
we need a paste eater emote
Allied wrist guards are DF

The only pre-embellished items we have is shitty boots and a shitty shield
ok so just lowest ilvl craft like u said
which in my case is bracers and belt
sound good to u?
tho ig jewelry is no main stat
I did ring cuz I cba having shitty rings
I crafted 1h sword and bracers, kept getting fucked for a weapon lol
ugh, my first 10 is a top that I've ran once on a 2
i have a vers/mastery ring rn
maybe i replace it
but its hero track 🤔
so it could be worse
Yeah okay but... Haste
do u replaces cyrces with a crafted haste/crit ring
My 636 crit/haste ring is still outsimming 649 crit/vers
do u replaces cyrces with a vers mastery hero ring?
Hell no
Cyrce has stupid high stats
like 7-7.5k? It's hard to replace
Can't put thread onto jewelry
I put ele lense on ring

Is more than 0
But you can also craft an Ascension weapon
but it counts towards ur embellish limit
That's what sense did
I ain't planning on crafting a 3rd item
Embellishs are FUCKALL this season
it wasn't far off in terms of overall and better for ST, at least in S1 sims
Min-maxing those is a hilarity
fair
Rly isn't
I replaced helm
Embellishs in DF scaled with ilvl
Current embellishs do not
how many gilded crests do u need for a craft?
60
as long as you have a bounty map
ill get one im sure
ive literally done only raid and m+ this week aaaa
i need to catch up on all my casual content
Delves honestly your best investment timewise for crests
I have plenty of gilded but can’t decide if I wanna craft shield or weapon.
647ilvl, have 8/8 champ gally shield and 1/6 hero track weapon
I crafted weapon with ascendence embellishment because I'm not mythic raiding this tier
